彼曰、我舌獲勝、口為我有、誰為我主兮、

彼乃曰、我將舌戰以勝之、口為我有、誰能主之、

其言曰、我欲以舌逞強、口為我有、誰能主我、

求主矯浮薄。復使反樸拙。懲罰巧言者。剪截誇誕舌。

They say,“ What we speak with our tongues will win the battle. What we say with our lips will keep us safe. No one will have victory over us.”

those who say,“ With our tongue we will prevail, our lips are with us; who is master over us?”

They say,“ We will lie to our hearts’ content. Our lips are our own— who can stop us?”

They say,“ Through our tongues we have power; our lips are our own— who can be our master?”

Who have said,“ With our tongue we will prevail; Our lips are our own; who is lord over us?”

Who have said,“ With our tongue we will prevail; Our lips are our own; Who is Lord over us?”

Who have said, With our tongue will we prevail; Our lips are our own: who is lord over us?

They say,“ Through our tongues we have power; our lips are our own— who can be our master?”

Who have said, With our tongue will we prevail; our lips[ are] our own: who[ is] lord over us?

They say,“ We speak persuasively; we know how to flatter and boast. Who is our master?”

who have said,“ With our tongue we will prevail. Our lips are our own. Who is lord over us?”

Likewise, the tongue is a small part of the body, but it makes great boasts. Consider what a great forest is set on fire by a small spark.The tongue also is a fire, a world of evil among the parts of the body. It corrupts the whole body, sets the whole course of one’s life on fire, and is itself set on fire by hell.

Pharaoh said,“ Who is the Lord, that I should obey him and let Israel go? I do not know the Lord and I will not let Israel go.”

“ For God knows that when you eat from it your eyes will be opened, and you will be like God, knowing good and evil.”

They said,“ Come, let’s make plans against Jeremiah; for the teaching of the law by the priest will not cease, nor will counsel from the wise, nor the word from the prophets. So come, let’s attack him with our tongues and pay no attention to anything he says.”

“ You of this generation, consider the word of the Lord:“ Have I been a desert to Israel or a land of great darkness? Why do my people say,‘ We are free to roam; we will come to you no more’?

Yet they say to God,‘ Leave us alone! We have no desire to know your ways.Who is the Almighty, that we should serve him? What would we gain by praying to him?’

Now when you hear the sound of the horn, flute, zither, lyre, harp, pipe and all kinds of music, if you are ready to fall down and worship the image I made, very good. But if you do not worship it, you will be thrown immediately into a blazing furnace. Then what god will be able to rescue you from my hand?”

He will oppose and will exalt himself over everything that is called God or is worshiped, so that he sets himself up in God’s temple, proclaiming himself to be God.
